In addressing both the personal and the political in her wonderful, new book, Sunrise Ruby, Karen Warinsky shines a light on the struggles we see in the world, as well as the unseen struggles that make us who we are. These poems are timely and timeless, touching upon gun violence, Covid, the ravages of war, as well as our most vulnerable moments with family, and what it means to create ourselves. In the end, Warinsky reminds us that our mission is to “help each other through. / Keep your needle handy. / Get ready to make a stitch.” These are poems of action and heart. You will want to re-read and savor this beautiful collection!

The 'Sunrise Ruby' is a beautiful image as described in the poem "Battle Ground States." There is more than one way to look at something and she embraces all of it. Thoroughly engaging throughout, we go on quite a journey with the author! We see the small town early life with its joys and imperfections sitting side by side, then the bigger dualities of modern life wonders and the overwhelming challenges of pandemic and political strife, technology and pollution. And finally in the third section, she shows us the ways that connect and give hope, relief. It all works! An ambitious and accomplished work, you can't help but feel uplifted by the end. Very relatable, many of us have felt this way. The author makes a "Case for Hope!"

A keen observer, with clarity and confidence, a bit sardonic, Warinsky dispatches a fearless take on our wayward condition, a fix with heart in dispirited times. A beautiful cover draws you in. The poet's engaging voice keeps you from putting it down.

These poems celebrate life while at the same time advocating for justice, care for the environment and the end of oppression --all delivered with grace and good humor.

"Let Karen's ‘Sunrise Ruby’, a Poetry Collection, Illuminate Your Day!"
From “Battleground States”, where Karen calls upon Rumi's poem "The Sunrise Ruby," which speaks to the power of love and self-discipline. The poem uses the imagery of a ruby held up to the sunrise to symbolize the idea of complete surrender to love and the divine. Karen’s collection of poems is anchored on this transcendent idea.
.
Karen Warinsky's "Sunshine Ruby" is a treasure,
A poetry collection that's truly a pleasure,
Each verse a gem that sparkles bright,
And fills the reader with pure delight.
In 3 parts, “Getting Here”, “The Fight”, and “The Balm”, Warinsky weaves,
A tapestry of words that truly achieves,
A sense of wonder and magic untold,
And leaves the reader feeling whole and bold.
The cast of characters, like Dewey, and Libby Baines shines through,
Their spirit and courage a source of awe,
As they journey through a world of banality and gloom,
And brings empathy to every room.
Warinsky's mastery of language is evident,
As she paints vivid pictures with every segment,
Her words are like brushstrokes on a canvas bright,
Creating scenes that are both vivid and a sight.
"Sunshine Ruby" is a must read collection of poetic pieces,
A collection that will never cease,
To inspire and uplift the human soul,
And leave us feeling truly whole.
